Ideal for chocolate lovers seeking a less sugary dessert, these brownies are easy to prepare and bake to perfection with a gooey center and crisp edges.

Ingredients

Chocolate and Butter

  • 6 oz (170g) dark chocolate (50-70% cocoa solids)
  • 7 tbsp (100g) unsalted butter

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • ½ cup plus 1 tbsp (115g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla bean paste

Dry Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup plus 1 tbsp (60g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp salt

Additional

  • ½ cup (85g) dark chocolate chips
  • Extra chocolate chips for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 7×7-inch or 8×8-inch metal baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on each end, then butter the exposed sides to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a large bowl set over a pot with ½-inch of simmering water, gently stir together the dark chocolate and unsalted butter until completely melted, smooth, and glossy. Remove from heat once melted.
  3. Dissolve Sugar in Eggs: Combine the eggs and granulated sugar in a heatproof mixing bowl and place it over a saucepan with about ½ inch of simmering water. Whisk constantly until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture feels smooth without any grit when rubbed between your fingers.
  4. Whip Egg Mixture: Using an electric hand mixer on high speed (or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment), beat the egg and sugar mixture for 2-3 minutes until pale, thick, and fluffy. You will notice the mixture forms a slowly disappearing ribbon when the beaters are lifted.
  5. Add Flavors and Combine: Beat in the vanilla bean paste and salt. Then stir in the warm chocolate and butter mixture until evenly blended. Add the flour and gently fold it in until smooth and fully incorporated. Finally, fold in the dark chocolate chips.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface with the back of a spatula. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 17-20 minutes until the brownies are slightly puffed and a toothpick inserted between the edge and center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and Serve: Transfer the pan to a wire rack and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before removing and cutting into squares. Enjoy your fudgy low sugar brownies!

Notes

  • Use good quality dark chocolate with 50-70% cocoa solids for the best flavor and fudgy texture.
  • Allow the eggs to come to room temperature before beginning to ensure proper mixing and texture.
  • Do not overbake to maintain a fudgy center; start checking at 17 minutes.
  • Chocolate chips in the batter and on top add extra texture and bursts of chocolate.
  • Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved in the eggs to prevent grainy texture.
